1970 Map of Dorset

About this map

Dorset sits at the heart of this Hubbard County landscape, serving as a central hub between the expansive Lake Belle Taine and Big Sand Lake. The area is defined by an intricate glacial geography of interconnected water bodies, including Lake Emma, Mantrap Lake, and the winding Crow Wing River. Transportation in the early 1970s was anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad line, which passes through the center of the township near the Dorset Lookout Tower. Cultural markers such as Henrietta Cem and Bethel Cem provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracking early residents in Henrietta and Hubbard. This survey captures the region as a primary recreational and timber landscape, dotted with features like the Roadside Park and numerous family-named landmarks including Peysenske Lake and Clausens Lake.
